With 1100 miles in mostly city, only 22.5. Hope it goes up. What gets me is the instant MPG's always show 30-40 mpg. Don't see how the average can be that much lower.

That's great to hear... my G35 only got 13.5 to 14! Although, it may take me a while to get there. In the two years that I owned the G, I only put 12k on it.

I get around 19mpg, but thats b/c I have a lead foot! Plus, most of the driving I do is in the city. I rarely get on the highway.
